We have a vote coming up Nov 5th on the GMO labeling.
Eyes on Washington State GMO Food Labeling Vote
October 1st, 2013
[An earlier version of this story appeared in Cornucopia's Fall newsletter]
After the narrow defeat last November of the statewide vote in California to require the labeling of foods containing genetically engineered ingredients, supporters of food transparency have brought the issue to numerous other states.
Connecticut and Maine have adopted GMO labeling laws, contingent on nearby states adopting a similar requirement. In nearly twenty other states food activists are also pursuing similar legislative strategies. And in Washington state, food activists are gearing up for a statewide vote this November 5 on GMO ingredient food labeling legislation.
Known as I-522, the pending state vote has been attracting considerable attention from industry observers. Monsanto and other giant biotech corporations, along with the Grocery Manufacturers Association (a lobbying group for the nation’s biggest food manufacturers and retailers), have dumped $17 million into a PR campaign aimed at thwarting a pro-labeling vote.
But a vigorous and well-organized campaign has arisen in the state in favor of GMO food labeling and the right-to-know what is in your food. The Yes on 522 committee is one of several organizations actively engaging and educating the public on the upcoming vote. A number of organic food and natural products manufacturers and retailers have also stepped up to help counter the financial might of the biotech and agribusiness companies.
Cornucopia has created infographics and detailed information revealing what companies support or oppose GMO food labeling. By knowing where the makers of various food brands stand on the issue, knowledgeable consumers can match their marketplace food-purchasing decisions with their core values.
We are in the process of updating our infographic based on the latest reported campaign expenditures filed this week. Check back in the near future for the latest details.

I agree with most of those fats, except the flax seed oil, it is highly unstable and goes rancid very easy, plus it is high concentration of Polyunsaturated, which is bad for your gall bladder,

Mitch, animal fat works best I think and does not turn oil into hydrogenated trans fat. Lots of seed oils become very unstable, and flax seed is one of the worst cause it is highly unstable and goes rancid quick. Flax seed oil was not meant to be separated from the seed, that is why you have to put the oil in the refrigerator. I have read also that the rancid oil can enter your cells.
Addy, my dog food is made fresh right here in Alberta, can't trust made in China...
Well I have to go get some botox botulism injected into my forehead so I don't look mad all the time!
P.s. Mitch, work should have to cover this cause they are part responsible for my frown cause they worked me to death! Injury occurred at work!!! Ha ha ha hahahahah
